Start by looking at the Training section (tab above)

Hi BS,

There are 2 articles discussing pipe supports:

Quote:

Section III - Pipe Supports

A. Pipe Supports - Part 1, By: James O. Pennock
This is a discussion about the two basic categories of pipe supports (the primary pipe support systems, and the secondary pipe support systems).

B. Pipe Supports - Part 2, By: James O. Pennock
This is a discussion about the data requirements and the process of selection and qualification for the typical secondary pipe supports.

After reading these, if you are still stuck, ask more questions here.

Your questions are covered in the topics I pointed you to.

I would also suggest you ask your piping stress engineer to look at your Iso to determine where anchors and guides are required, particularly for high temperature (and very low temperature) lines which would be subject to thermal movement.
